Featuring Ryan M. Brewer

lyrics

She took the dog for a long walk
Left her phone at the end of their block
She said goodbye to the fencepost
She said goodbye to the fencepost
"You're the one I'll miss the most, little scarecrow. Little Scarecrow."

Her only dime to the bus man
What a way to runaway...busted
She told a lie to her mom's ghost
She told a lie to her mom's ghost...
"You're the one I'll miss the most, little scarecrow. Little Scarecrow."

Wait for me
Wait for me
I pray thee
I pray thee

"Tiger by the tail like I'm immune to nail and teeth
But God what if I fail and death's the first person I meet
I'll paint that city red and let it spread like smoke and fire
Or choke on just a thread, my head found face down in The mire"

"Tiger by the tail like I'm immune to nail and teeth
But God what if I fail and death's the first person I meet
Oh God."

He and the bar had a long talk
Slept on the floor by the grandfather clock
A flight of stairs to an empty chair
A flight of stairs to an empty chair
See the bird escaped it's host
Little sparrow
Little sparrow

Up to the room where she'd been born
Not a thing broken, missing, torn
Everything in its own space
A vacancy just can't erase
"You're the one I miss the most, little sparrow. Little Sparrow."

Out to the porch where she used to love
Count the scars in the sky above
His voice returns him a new ghost
"You're the one I miss the most, little sparrow. Little Sparrow."

Nick Rapley Brooklyn, New York

Musician and artist. All aspects of my work are manipulated by no hands other than my own: conception, creation, production. I thrive on the unknown. I don't plan, plot, or scheme any of my works. I merely begin. The only limitations set before me are those of my abilities. This process affords me the luxury to reflect upon my subconscious and learn about myself. Music and art breed growth in life ... more
